As the Lionesses look to build on their success at this summer’s Women’s Euros, a packed roster is coming to Manchester’s venues – and naturally none more so than the National Football Museum. The National Football Museum is set to host a series of family-friendly watch parties after hours for the Women’s Euros this summer, bringing together the masses to celebrate all things women’s football.
Families and visitors of all ages are welcome to support and celebrate England (and Wales!) as they kick off their campaign against France on July 5, followed by matches against the Netherlands on July 9 and Wales on July 13.

The Women’s Euros watch parties at the National Football Museum are completely free to attend, with an on-site bar and an option to pre-order pizza ahead of the games – sounds like the perfect evening.
To mark the beginning of the Women’s Euros, the National Football Museum will also host a vibrant weekend of events on July 5-6. Strike a pose in Lionesses’ kits, create your own dazzling banner, and drum up support with your very own chant – there is plenty of WEuro’s fever to get wrapped up in.
Tim Desmond, CEO of the National Football Museum, said: “This promises to be an exciting summer for football as the Lionesses look to build on their successes.
“We want to bring the powerful sense of community that tournament football delivers to our museum, helping visitors new and returning understand why football matters and witness the impact our pioneering Lionesses can have in inspiring generations of budding young footballers. That’s why we are so delighted to be able to offer watch parties for this year’s tournament, providing a safe, inclusive, and exciting place for all fans to cheer on England.
“The National Football Museum is a celebration of the nation’s favourite game – what better place to experience the Womens Euros and – fingers crossed – watch the Lionesses’ bring football home again!”
There will no doubt be plenty of happenings in Manchester on the run-up to and during the Women’s Euros this year, but there’s nowhere quite like the National Football Museum for all the family to enjoy. Entry is free but be sure to book a place here.
